Naples resident and philanthropist Stephen Saks, a retired Miami-Dade County car wash owner, made a $20 million donation to local nonprofits serving both the Jewish community and greater Southwest Florida.

The lead contribution is a $10 million endowment gift to the Jewish Federation of Greater Naples, the largest donation in the organization’s history, with an additional $1 million for the local PJ Library, which provides free books to children.

Additional recipients are the Holocaust Museum & Cohen Educational Center, Baker Senior Center Naples for its lunch program, Jewish National Fund, Temple Shalom for youth programs and Golden Paws Assistance Dogs.

The endowment will allow the federation to further invest in Jewish event programming and organizational and community support for future generations, President and CEO Emeritus Jeffrey Feld said.
